ABSTRACT:
A swath turner for inverting a swath or windrow of cut crop has a pickup followed by a moldboard. The moldboard extends rearwardly from one side of the pickup and across the direction of travel. It engages one side of the swath or windrow as it leaves the pickup discharge and inverts the swath or windrow before it falls on the ground. As the inverted swath or windrow is deposited onto the ground, the tail end of the moldboard forces it down on the ground. A swath setter may follow the inverter to set the swath firmly to avoid subsequent wind losses.
